We all have a favourite golf jumper, but sometimes you just need a change. Whether it’s a 1/4 or 1/2 zip, lambswool or merino, short sleeve or long, it’s an essential piece of kit that you’re guaranteed to get good use from, especially in the changeable British climate. The stretchy fabrics found in these performance garments allow a more tailored fit, and some are even water repellent.

We’ve put together a selection of our favourites into various categories. Golf’s biggest brands offer great variety with each garment designed specifically for the demands of golf. Don’t wait for Christmas!

Traditional/Classic

Glenmuir Lambswool

You can’t go wrong with one of these. They’re smart, comfortable, and come in a variety of colours, allowing you to be bold if you so wish. Glenmuir has a rich legacy and heritage, and its whole range of lambswool jumpers are very popular. Shrink resistant with an anti-pill performance finish.

FootJoy Lambswool V-Neck

Another super option in this category. This is a quality pullover offering the perfect balance between performance, protection and comfort. Will go nicely with most other layers.

A classic V-neck knitted jumper made from soft Italian yarn. A smart option to have in your wardrobe, and one that will keep you warm in the cooler summer evenings and through the colder months. Features fully fashioned saddle-shape at the shoulders.

ProQuip Collection Merino Wool Lined

Featuring ProQuip’s water repellent finish, the 1/2 zip sweater is available in five classic colours. Merino has natural stretch and returns to its original shape, and its soft feel doesn’t cause irritation.

Sporty/Athletic

Galvin Green Doyle Jacket

The perfect mid layer. May be described as a jacket but falls into the sweater category. Does not lack visual appeal, or quality. The Italian-made fabric provides outstanding thermal regulation and maximum breathability. A premium, versatile offering.

FootJoy Textured Chillout

Ideal for when you want to inject a bit more style into your look. Four-way stretch fabric allows complete range of motion during the golf swing. Perfect for cooler temperatures, such as early mornings in the autumn, or breezy summer evenings.

Designed to give you the optimum performance with opti-therm fabrics providing a layer of thermal comfort. Featuring a quarter-zip opening, this lightweight garment has a stylish look and is easy to pull on and off during showers.

Designed with a standard fit and has Dri-Fit performance fabric that draws moisture away from the body, which makes this a very breathable garment – which is enhanced further still with engineered knit-in zones.

UA’s ColdGear Reactor is said to be your own personal thermostat for the golf course. Always warm, but never too warm, it supposedly responds to your climate and effort level, warming you up when you are less active, and cooling you down as you heat up to maintain the perfect level of warmth.

Adidas climaheat Quilted

Climaheat technology uses hollow fibres (similar to natural fur), which keep the heat in and will help you dry out faster.

There are plenty of other options, but all of these garments share the same high-quality design to ensure you’re comfortable when playing golf in cooler conditions.
